My garden and I are all the things you try to avoid. Your words made me wince, and then laugh at myself. But, it's what I do, and have done in ever increasing amounts, for the past 20+ years on the farm. My goal each year is to can/freeze/preserve enough to get us through until the harvest of the next season. Each year I try not to overdo anythig "just in case". Last year, I overdid canned green beans and tomato sauce. Oh well! Every year is different, and my garden has moved several times over the years, making annual predictions difficult.

I tried growing fried beans once, unsuccessfully, many years ago. You've inspired me to try them again.

By the way, corn is also a vegetable to freeze without blanching. I leave a layer of husk on, cut off both ends and vacuum seal them.
